The International Theatre Residency includes an intensive theatre workshop, conducted by the director Fabio Tolledi and the trainers of Astràgali Teatro. The workshop focuses on: an intercultural and multidisciplinary approach based on intensive physical training (awareness of body in acting, fundamentals on movement, awareness of space) and on vocal work (breath, relation between movement and voice, fundamentals on singing) as well as on the elaboration of art techniques, considered as a critical instrument against discrimination and conflict.The main issue of the work concerns the question of walls, as concrete tokens of separate worlds in situations of conflict and of lack of mutual recognition.
